How do I allow autocomplete for everything except AWT and Swing in Intellij?

Question

AWT and Swing have almost the same names for everything in JavaFX, so I find myself going through the items by their package, finding the FX entries, and then looking at the documentation.

I know it's possible for modules, but this is a core JDK library bundled with everything else

Answer 1

You can exclude specific packages from auto import in IntelliJ settings.

Settings > Editor > General > Auto Import > Java > Exclude from Import and Completion . There you can add packages javax.swing and javax.awt .

You can find more details about this setting in the IntelliJ manual .
